About the Game

The Most Reliable Core Nanny  Commander

So, I became a Core Nanny...? Nobody knows what this glowing "Core" is, but those demons are already drooling! Your tiny, weak soldiers are the only defense you’ve got. Heal them and pray they can survive for one more second!

Powerful Skill Tree Upgrades

If one upgrade isn't enough, just do it twice! Dump all your loot into this massive skill tree. Look at the rising numbers, look at the bullet hell—Cheats are just awesome! 

Nanny’s Notes:

God Mode: Enemies work hard, but our incremental upgrades are just cheating

No Dying: Nobody is allowed to die without my permission!

Cheat Death: As long as my healing circle is big enough, Death can’t catch my boys

Instant Squad: One click on the skill tree, and ten more soldiers join the fight
